Landslide Monitoring Using IoT System with Cloud Platform

The natural disasters poses the losses in the disaster prone area. Landslides pose great socio-economic threats to regions which geography of the location favors it. The hill states of the India are more prone to the landslides due to the heavy rain fall other environmental challenges. The researchers found that ninety-nine percent of landslides induced due to heavy rain falls. The severity of disasters especially landslides is gradually increasing day by day in scale and frequency, resulting in widespread loss of human lives and infrastructure of the nation. The detection, monitoring and mitigation of the landslides in hill states is the major concern. The mitigation and monitoring of the effects of landslides can be performed using technology integration. This article presented an innovative landslide monitoring system. It is based on the IoT protocols based monitoring system consisting of cloud platform which provides instant alerts of upcoming landslides on the basis of real time data set collected inside the IoT cloud platform. As part of this monitoring system, landslide data is sent directly to the civil protection department and notified to the local population for the awareness and future precautionary safety measures. The results and discussions section shows the real time data visualization of the landslide inducting parameters, including metrological, geophysical and hydrological parameters.
